This page describes a few policies that are only applicable to employees hired in Austria. 🇦🇹
Time tracking
In Austria the tracking of working hours is regulated by law and mandatory. Please find here a quick manual how to track your worked hours.
Go to your Personio account and click the “Time Tracking” button on the left menu.
Select the day you want to track the time and add your worked hours and your lunch break.
Remember to select the Project “Homeoffice” - this is necessary for the Austrian tax regulation.
Click Save.
Please note that according to Austrian laws you are not allowed to work for more than 10 hours per day.
If you work more than 6 hours you are required to take a break of 30 min. This does not need to be exactly after 6 hours. Eg. If your working day is planned from 8h - 15h you will work in total more than 6 hours, but you can decide when to take the break. For example it can be already at 12h (after 4h of work).
It is possible to do this for one day only or in bulk for the whole week/month. For the later, simply select all the days in bulk and click “Track” at the bottom of the page.

If you have a trip planned inside Austria and you plan to work for a few days from a different address in Austria, there’s no need to report it.
TEMPORARILY abroad
You must engage with your Manager and the People team, at least 15 working days in advance, so we can assess with the due authorities if this is possible.
*Example of a request for a temporary change of address:
Maria Doe’s lives at her registered address in Avenue ABC. 12/3, 1234 Wien, Austria.
Maria will travel to her parents for a Summer break 😎 and work from there, while enjoying her parents famous shrimp recipes. 😋
On 10 July 2020 Maria liaises with her Manager and the People team:
Hello, People team
I would like to request to work from Street XYZ. 98/7, 4321 Nice, France, from 21 - 31 August 2020.
I hereby confirm that this location meets the IT requirements, as well as the health and safety conditions for me to perform my work safely.
Looking forward to hearing from you, hopefully with an approval of this request.
Best regards,
Maria Doe
The People team will engage with the employee for an agreement to be signed and the due forms to be filled.
The People team will then liaise with the due authorities to understand if there are any issues with this destiny or if the employee can work from abroad while maintaining the protection / coverage.
Please be mindful that many factors play an important role in connection with the employment of employees abroad, even if it’s temporary.
Different rules will apply to specific countries: EU countries, countries with bilateral agreements and other countries with no special agreements.
